A recent client survey conducted by InfoTrack uncovered feedback that ‘searching for updates to a current matter through the Court Portal is a manual and time-consuming task’.

To help you battle this challenge and maintain an effective work environment, InfoTrack launched Court Sync™ - a document syncing service designed for family lawyers to keep their matters up to date when documents are received from the Court Portal.

We are excited to announce that Smokeball now integrates seamlessly with Court Sync. Once documents, orders and judgements are submitted, clients can click the ‘Court Sync’ button within Smokeball and any updated documents will be automatically saved to the corresponding matter.

How does CourtSync work?

Once logged into CommCourts each morning, Court Sync will automatically search for the latest updates from the Commonwealth Court Portal and integrate these directly into your matter including changes to dates, parties, or documents found within your file. You are notified by email of any changes. Any subsequent updates can be requested in one click.

In that one click, Court Sync™ will merge the final three steps of the CommCourts filing process.

What are the benefits?

Court Sync™ can save you time and increase the efficiency of your firm, so you have more time to focus on your clients and grow your firm.

Court Sync™ reduces the number of steps required when you want to update court files.

Matters are automatically synced once per day and if needed, you can further sync your matters anywhere at any time.

Synced files come with an enhanced naming convention including order ID and judgement meaning no need to rename files.

Court Sync™ enables you to use your Commonwealth Court Portal login to sync documents directly back into Smokeball.

Court Sync™ allows you to stay inside Smokeball, meaning you don’t have to open multiple tabs in your internet browser and switch back and forth between pages.

We value your security and the privacy of your clients. Court Sync™ encrypts documents so they can only be read inside your matter.

Smokeball’s integration with InfoTrack means there is no need for you to re-key data. Not only does this save time, but also reduces the chance of human error.
